Greetings,

I followed the unattended + multi boot guide on this forums.

I've used 3 OS

WinXP

Win2000

Win 98

The only problem is that when I select Win2000 to install (when it boots from the dvd)

It starts.. I get the blueee screen, and then I get the message :

Please insert the Win2000 CD in your A: Drive.

Help?

If im correct I did everything followwing the guide, even double checked it....

make sure the CDROM_IP files are in there....

I've got the cdrom_nt.5 and the cdrom_ip.5 files (win 2000 pro only)

And ofcourse the spnotes and readme files....

Those are the only required files

I have theses at the root of my Multiboot CD and also at the root of the source folder (where your i386 folder stand)

CDROMSP4.TST

CDROM_IP.5

CDROM_NT.5

and no, you don't need the spnotes and readme files...

same for me, ...however I didnt have the cdromsp4.tst in the root, ill try that

---EDIT---

Nevermind that, cdromsp4.tst is a empty file...

It's not so much that it's empty, it's just that the installation wants to see this file to confirm that you got the right CD in. Just have it in there, it'll work just fine. Mines is also empty. If it doesn't work, I would start from scratch with the 2K side and just make sure I completely follow the guide ver batem.

re-imaging now ..

I have the Bootmenu come up fine, select Windows XP or 2000 to install from, it does its thing, but when it reboots to install Windows after copying the files as it normally does in setup, the system goes right back to bootmenu and starts over again. has anyone figured out how to bypass the bootmenu, so I could go straight back to windows setup

if you wait like 20 seconds or so, itll boot from the hard drive. or if you wanted, you could add an option to the boot menu to go boot from the hdd.

Thanks for the response, but that is not what I meant... When you allow the cdshell

to boot from the hard drive, it gives you a linux command prompt... I want to bypass

the menu from coming up to go straight into windows. During the boot process, the

system checks the boot folder for the loader. bin file... I am looking for a way to either

have an option to bypass the menu, or load the menu

lol... if you dont want to boot from the CD, then take it out...

When booting from the hard drive, it'll only give you a linux command prompt if you have linux installed on your hard drive. If you don't have linux installed, then something else is wrong.

I found a solution.... I am using a command called bootcheck to see if partition is bootable, and if

it is then I have a menu pop up to go to menu or boot os....

If the partition is not bootable, it will go right to setup

Guess someone took over my post...

I don't mind though I fixed mine already
